Notation Editing / Copy, Cut and Paste
Pasting symbols or measures
Last updated: 07/30/2024
A "clipboard" with an arrow will appear on your cursor when you activate the Paste command. Symbols that have been cut or copied will insert wherever you position the arrow and left-click.
Make sure there is enough room in the measure where you insert. You may need to nudge barlines left or right to make room as pasted objects drop from left to right.

after bar line or replace existing bar lines.
